More proof that Mike Mearls doesn't even know what
he's talking about

HEY SCEPTILESOLAR IT'S BEEN A WHILE I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'LL SEE THIS OR NOT BUT I'LL STILL RESPOND:

You are stupid, read the next two sentences.

Okay, I will.

Likewise, I think people who dig the Nentir Vale and the 4E cosmology would be livid if we ripped out the dragonborn and tieflings, whose fallen empires are so important to shaping the land.

Oh wait, no. I already read that. And his solution to this problem was to try to appeal to the first type of gamer (by saying 'your races are more important') while marginalizing the second (by calling them 'rare' and therefore saying that they don't fit in D&D correctly). This is exactly what I was complaining about.

Maybe you should actually take statements within their proper context instead of just reading them off on their own and then implying that they mean anything at all. Literacy is more than just knowing what words mean.

Although the person in the previous topic did make such a claim, saying that Pieke was stupid and was therefore wrong.

Foolish people have been doing that for years. Don't hold it against them, they can't help it. You ableist.

Also wow that post about art is pretty ****ing pointless. Why is it a thing?---I dont trust any of the tastes of people who were born with such good taste that they didnt need to find their way through trash.

It will draw attention away from our design, and raise the hackles of female gamers everywhere. Then, the males will be so distracted by the females, they'll stop paying attention to us briefly.

That... actually made a lot of sense. Having feats that do multiple things makes sense and makes the feats more valuable. I can't say I have any complaints with the idea, although I would like to see the feats coming with some options so you don't get stuck with two bonuses you'll never use to get the one you really want.

In 4e, you already sometimes get stuck with a +2 bonus to X that you don't actually want or use, and variable bonuses like they had with racial stat bonuses seemed to work nicely. They could apply that idea to feats by giving two or three options for what bonuses the feat grants. That would be more work, but it would make feats more valuable by making them more likely to provide bonuses you actually want.---I once dug a pit and filled it with clouds...or was it clowns.... come to think of it, it began to smell... must have been clowns...White FC 0260 9873 0859

I don't know if feats need to separately support exploration and roleplaying, but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to make all feats have a combat application, and maybe many/most feats have a non-combat application.---SuperNiceDog didn't have to reconcile his name...But Dauntless Hunter is now MrGreenonion

That's decent. I think it might be more workable to just divide feats into combat and utility, and give people some number of each.---"[This is perfect. I have always fought with these kinds of cards. You say that I have lost the moment I was dealt? It's just the same as always!]"

If they're bringing back the Vance, it would be fine if a feat gave you something for roleplaying, something for noncombat, and something for combat.---I believe in Artemis Hound & John MagnumThe heroes 215 deserve.

That's not a bad idea either. They could split the feats into categories (combat, exploration, and roleplaying since they seem set on those pillars) and give you two feats each level with the restriction that you can only spend one feat per category per level. That would allow for a lot more customization and focus than would feats with multiple effects that may or may not mesh with your character concept.---I once dug a pit and filled it with clouds...or was it clowns.... come to think of it, it began to smell... must have been clowns...White FC 0260 9873 0859
